Emporia Globe: King corn is not so
high headed as he was six weeks ago.
The chinch bug and hot weather have
battered the walls and sapped the founda-
tions of his kingdom, and he is dropping
and sadly scorched. In fact the two
warning forces have almost fred him
out of his proud position. A recent trip
through Lyon, Chase, Marion Harvey,
Sedgwick, Sumner Cowley, Elk, Atchi
son, Leavenworth, Johnson, Miami,
Shawnee and Usage, convinces us that
the crop of corn may be summed up at
about third of crop. In some places
it is completely destroyed, but these are
not very extensive in area. In others
there is promise of from 80 to 60 bush
els, and according to our best judgment
the counties named will yield about one
third of Il crop on an average of twenty
bushels to the acre. Pluck will have to
make up the deficiency and as Kansas
people have plenty of that article we will
pull through all right.

KANSAS CROPS.

Reports from drouth stricken Illinois
shows that the rains came too late to
help the corn there. The tassel had drop
ped off and without it there can be no
corn Not so in Kansas. The drouth
has injured our corn to some extent, but
nothing like it is represented to have
done in Illinois, Iowa and other states in
the northwest. The following from the
current number of the Kansas Farmer
shows up the situation in very favorable
light for our state.
The Farmer has thirty five letters from
farmers in as many counties in Kansas
telling about the crops and they confirm
our statements made last week and the
week before that there is plenty of all
kinds of grain, feed and stock in the state
to feed the people, with a good deal to
spare in many localities. The season
was spotted and the crops are spotted
There is a great deal of as good corn as
was ever grown in the state; in many
places it is very good then, in other
places there is no corn worth talking
about. Some Individual farmers are in
bad condition; their crops are very short
indeed; but in the dry places rains have
recently fallen, and things look different.
We do not believe there is county in the
state, unless it be among those recently
settled on the western border, that will
not have feed enough to put their stock
through the winter; and taking the state
as whole, considering the greatly in
creased acreage, there will be great
deal of corn

pull through all right
Lindsborg News: Again Governor
Martin has by his timely counsel rem
dered valuable service to the people of
the state. Some parts of the state will
have surplus of corn while other places
will be compelled to buy more Of it to
keep their stock. This will necessitate
large amount Of shipment of products
between different points within the
state. The Topeka Capital informed
us that the governor has requested the
general freight agents of all railroad
operating the state to meet and discuss
with the railroad commissioners the
advisability of making reduction in
the rate of corn shipped within the state.
The meeting was held Tuesday of this
week at the office of the railroad COM
missioners, and the representatives of
the railroads readily agreed to cut the
shipping rates within the state down to
two-thirds. Governor Martin action
in this matter will be appreciated by
the farmers Of the state.
We commend the reader to Nebraka
for pure and undulterated lying. A
citizen of that state uses the columns
of the Louisville Observer to put this
one In circulation:
On the 23rd of last July was stack
ing barley in my field when | discover
a large bull snake about five feet in
length. killed it and seeing that its
body was swelled in several places cut
it open and was surprised to find five
guinea eggs all sound. I took them
home and put them under a setting hen
and in less than three days every egg
was Matched and ! now have five
guineas all well and hearty.
1t has been noticed that in climates
having difference of 20 degrees in
temperature between the hot and cold
seasons, railroad track of the length
of 400 miles is some 33S yards longer
in summer than IN winter; that is,
though of course the length of the road
remains the same, expansion forces the
metal closer together, making an ag-
gregate closing up of space between
the rails of nearly yard in each mile.
One of General Grant best answers
to any question was his reply to William
NJ. Evarts, who, in speaking about Mr..
Beecher asked: "Why Is it general,
that little fault In clergyman attracts
more notice then great fault in an or
binary MANI Because, said the
general, thoughtfully, " it is for the
same reason that slight shadow pass
ing over the pure snow is more readily
seen then a river of dirt on the black
EARTH
CT. Bend Graphic: The real value of
the late rains is not understood by most
people. Besides putting the ground in
the most excellent condition for fall
planting and making the hay crop and
assuring good fall and winter pastur-
age, the rains have been of great value
to the late corn. In many instances
the late corn was partially formed but
the ears were not filled out. The husk
or shell was there but there had not
been enough moisture to fill the gram.
This the rains will do, and they will add
hundreds and hundreds of bushels to
our corn crop in Barton county.
